Description

virtual agent team

The present invention relates to a system for providing a team of at least two virtual agents, the system comprising at least one central processing unit, at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, at least one input device and at least one output a device, wherein the virtual agent is distinguishably presented to the user by at least one output device, each of the at least two virtual agents is assigned to a different field of interest and each of the at least two virtual agents includes user-specific data and and provide the user with visual and/or audio recommendations of interests assigned to each virtual agent based on the current status, wherein at least two virtual agents of teams assigned to at least two different interests provide the user with an interactive; Recommendations are provided to the current state of the user so that recommendations of at least two different areas of interest are provided in a multi-directional, or even opposite, direction.

Virtual agents connected with electronic devices such as smartphones or smart speakers are becoming increasingly popular in the modern world, and today virtual agents are indispensable in some cases or applications. A virtual agent may provide an intuitive interface between the user and the system or device to improve and facilitate interaction between them. Virtual agents often act as personal digital assistants to organize daily life, for example by saving appointments to a user's calendar, making a shopping list, or setting an alarm clock. Also providing virtual agents on various wearable electronic devices makes them available at any location and at any time. Thus, one advantage of applying a virtual agent via an electronic device is that, for example, the user can be notified of an appointment regardless of the user's location at a predefined point in time. In addition, many modern electronic devices are either Internet-capable or Web-enabled, so that a virtual agent application provided on these devices can connect to the World Wide Web and provide appropriate information related to a user's individual request. Thus, a user may decide to access the World Wide Web through an appropriate web browser and initiate a search request through a search engine or Internet search site by entering the search request in the appropriate search field, or to perform a search using a virtual agent application. If a search field is provided within the virtual agent application, the user may enter a search request in the search field or, optionally, if communication via voice recognition is provided, the user may initiate the search request by means of a verbal question. Additionally, the virtual agent may provide the requested information to the user in an oral format. For example, you may be using Microsoft Corporation's Cortana ^® or Apple Inc. It can communicate via voice or natural language interfaces with known virtual agents, such as the company's Siri ^{® .} The virtual agent can also be applied hands-free, which is particularly advantageous if, for example, the user wants to operate a navigation system while driving a car.

Virtual agents known in the art are mainly used to provide specific information, for example weather forecasts, traffic jams, route guidance, etc., or to perform a requested action, such as playing a specific audio or video file or establishing a phone connection. . Imitating natural human speech with respect to the verbal responses provided by virtual agents is still a difficult task. As is known, human speech is not only characterized by words spoken, but also influenced by emotions, moods, mental states or the speaker's social environment and further body language such as gestures and imitations. As a result, verbal responses provided by most known virtual agents are immediately recognized as artificial voice responses, which are characterized primarily as friendly, face-to-face, and businesslike.

The virtual agent may be provided as an agent implemented to provide a visualized virtual agent that is graphically represented with a body. By communicating with the user, the implemented virtual agent can provide real human-like verbal and non-verbal cues during a conversation. Therefore, one purpose of applying the implemented agent is to be able to mimic face-to-face communication with the user by combining gestures, facial expressions and voice.

The well-being of an individual or group is closely coupled with the specific living conditions of a specific individual or group. Thus, higher levels of well-being are strongly associated with positive levels associated with specific living conditions. Well-being relates to, for example, health, fitness, nutrition, finances, occupation, employment opportunities, social status, family status, relationship status, education and/or other living conditions. Thus, a high level of well-being is associated with good health, a high level of education or a stable financial position, for example. A balanced work-life balance is also associated with a high level of well-being. The term work-life balance describes the balance between time allotted to work and other aspects of an individual's life. For example, personal interests, family, social or leisure activities are related to areas of life rather than work and life.

In this regard, the virtual agent may be applied by the user to request information related to the user's individual living conditions. The virtual agent may provide appropriate information or provide an appropriate fitness or nutrition plan according to the entered user-specific request. People may initially be motivated to follow such an individualized training or nutrition plan, but it may reveal that such a training or nutrition plan may not fit into an individual's individual daily life. During a very stressful period, for example, it can be difficult to consider and include certain health-related recommendations given during the day. It is also unlikely that a user will completely forget to request user-specific health-related information or to check a user-specific individual training or nutrition plan. One specific drawback of these fitness or nutrition plans is that users may be initially motivated to follow such a rigorous fitness or nutrition plan, but after a period of time their motivation to continue following such a scheduled plan decreases dramatically over time. in the fact that it does

In this regard, Sarah Griffiths, "Microsoft Band monitors your fitness levels and sleep quality for $199" of the Daily Mail Online p.1-16 of October 30, 2014, on October 30, 2014, states that users can monitor their fitness and workout regimes and receive text and email messages Discloses an Internet article describing a device "Microsoft Band" from Microsoft Corporation that allows you to check . The wrist-worn device is equipped with 10 smart sensors that monitor pulse rate, measure calorie consumption and track sleep quality. The device works with a health app called "Microsoft Health" that includes a cloud service for users to store and combine health and fitness data. The device has a built-in Cortana personal assistant from Microsoft that allows people to talk to the device to take notes or set reminders. Microsoft's smart band aims to provide users with a healthier lifestyle by monitoring their fitness level and sleep quality.

US patent application US 2003/163311 A1 discloses a social agent as an animated computer interface agent with social intelligence. An agent's social intelligence derives from the agent's ability to be attractive, emotional, adaptive, and appropriate when interacting with users. The social agent receives input associated with a user, accesses a user profile associated with the user, extracts context information from the received input, and processes the context information and user profile to generate adaptive output to be presented by the social agent. . The user-related input may include user-related physiological data and application information. Extracting the context information may include extracting information about the emotional state of the user from physiological information, speech analysis information or language information, geographic location of the user, information about an application context related to the user, and language style of the user. can The adaptive output to be presented by the social agent may be a verbal expression, a facial expression, or an emotional expression. The goal of these applications is to provide users with an engaging, emotional, adaptable and appropriate social agent. Therefore, the goal is to make social agents more human and make transactions with social agents more convenient for users.

However, none of the known virtual agents simultaneously provide multiple opinions, including conflicting opinions or recommendations, in order to analyze the current situation as completely as possible on the same subject, and provide users with new ideas on how to proceed, but differing opinions or conflicting recommendations. You cannot help by leaving the final decision to users who are well aware of the possible consequences of following one opinion and not following a conflicting opinion or recommendation.

Also, all commonly known virtual advisors running on watches, phones, tablets, glasses, etc. for sports, health, food, fashion, etc., for example, were in fact not used longer than 3 weeks on average, as representative surveys revealed.

This is mainly because users get bored with virtual advisors and don't want to be led or treated like a child. This is especially true of virtual health and sports advisors that provide plans for when, how and what sports to play or when, what and how much to eat.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a next-generation virtual advisor or virtual agent that overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages. It is an object of the present invention to enable the user to get a clear and complete picture of a particular situation without guiding the user in one single direction. Accordingly, it can also be said that an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for reducing or eliminating the stress a user has in certain situations by providing a team of virtual agents with conflicting opinions or conflicting recommendations. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to reduce stress-related diseases and disorders in users, such as heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular disease, by providing a method, system and visualized virtual agent for reducing the user's stress.

This goal is addressed by providing a virtual agent team that is distinctly presented to the user, providing recommendations that may be contradictory due to the interests assigned to each virtual agent, such as a president with a brain trust of multiple advisors. As a result, the advice of the Minister of Finance in a particular situation may contradict the advice of the Minister of Defense, the advice of the Foreign Minister may go in a materially different direction from the advice of the Minister of Social Affairs, or the recommendation of the Minister of Economy is often different from that of the Minister of Environment. can be opposed. President, here users with different recommendations made under different or even contradictory views of the situation can make up their minds and finally do what they think is best. The methods, systems and teams of virtual agents are therefore particularly beneficial to users in stressful situations. In stressful situations, users can quickly lose their overview and fall into a powerless situation where they don't know if they should stop immediately, continue, do nothing, or proceed differently. In such a situation, the stress will be dramatically reduced by not providing a single guideline for the user to follow, but several including conflicting recommendations, allowing the user to clearly understand the situation and choose the most appropriate method for them to proceed. can This leaves the final decision for the user with the great benefit of recognizing the pros and cons of the various options and recommendations the user can go through.

This also avoids boring, leading, or treating the user like a child. The user accepts recommendations from at least two virtual agents at the same time for the same current state of the user or the user's context, and the user is free to decide which recommendation to follow, or whether to ignore all recommendations, or only partially follow both recommendations. . Thus, it is still up to the user to decide what to do, knowing that the recommendations selected by the user may have certain drawbacks.

Accordingly, the above object is to provide a system, method and team of visualized virtual agents that are distinctly presented to the user and provide bidirectional or multidirectional or preferably opposing recommendations, rather than providing continuous unidirectional recommendations in close proximity in time. is solved

Other advantageous embodiments of the invention arise from the dependent claims, description, drawings and illustrations.

US patent application US 2003/163311 A1, which discloses a social agent as an animated computer interface agent, may be considered the closest prior art. Such a social agent receives input related to a user, accesses a user profile, extracts context information from the received input, and processes the context information and user profile to generate adaptive output to be presented by the social agent. The purpose of this patent application is to make a virtual agent an appealing, emotional, adaptive and appropriate social agent to the user. However, while reducing the user's stressful situation, the social agent reduces the user's stressful situation by providing the user with two-way or multidirectional and/or opposing recommendations for different fields so that the user's stressful situation is analyzed for the user and a clear picture of the situation is provided to the user. How to leave the final decision on how the user proceeds without dictating what the user should do is not disclosed.

The present invention relates to a system for providing a team of at least two virtual agents, the system comprising at least one central processing unit, at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, at least one input device and at least one output a device, wherein the virtual agent is distinguishably presented to the user by at least one output device, each of the at least two virtual agents is assigned to a different field of interest and each of the at least two virtual agents includes user-specific data and and provide the user with visual and/or audio recommendations of interests assigned to each virtual agent based on a current status, wherein at least two virtual agents of a team assigned to at least two different interests provide the user with an interactive or Recommendations are provided to the user in the current state so that multidirectional, and/or opposite, recommendations of at least two different areas of interest are provided.

The present invention also relates to a system for reducing stress in a user, the system comprising at least one central processing unit, at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, at least one input device and at least one output device. wherein the virtual agent is distinguishably presented to the user by at least one output device and each of the at least two virtual agents is assigned to a different field of interest and each of the at least two virtual agents includes user-specific data and a current state of the user. and provide the user with visual and/or audio recommendations of interests assigned to each virtual agent based on , and/or provide recommendations to the user in the current state so that recommendations of at least two different fields of interest are provided.

Bidirectional or multidirectional and/or opposing recommendations must be presented continuously in close proximity in time, ie the recommendations must be presented sequentially within a short time frame, ie within a few seconds to minutes and preferably less than 60 seconds.

The term "two-way" refers to a recommendation to bike for an hour or ski for an hour, to eat potatoes with chicken or noodles with beef, or to wear jeans with a leather jacket or corduroy with a pullover. Refers to a recommendation that is not of a similar type and is not interchangeable, such as a recommendation to wear pants.

Rather, the term refers to recommendations that are made in the light of different interests, are not of a similar type, and are not interchangeable, as each recommendation has advantages and disadvantages over the other recommendation(s). Also, the recommendations overlap only partially, from slightly contradictory to completely contradictory.

The term “opposite” refers to recommendations that are opposed to each other, such as donating or not giving all of your money.

The term “multidirectional” refers to three or more recommendations that are not similar in type and are not interchangeable. Thus, they are recommendations made from three or more different perspectives and consequently go in three or more different directions.

The example below will explain how the virtual agent team works and how it provides recommendations. I can imagine a couple starting a small business 20 years ago and succeeding in growing it into a midsize business with 100 or so employees over the years. Now approaching 60, the couple decided to sell their midsize business and started negotiations with a large corporation interested in the acquisition. Today is another negotiating day close to finalization. During a brief break after hours of exhausting negotiations, the virtual agent team makes the following recommendations for the current state: The health agent was negotiating for at least two days, as her risk of having an epileptic seizure was dramatically increased due to extreme stress, based on her physiological condition, such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse rate, and skin/body temperature, obtained from the watch she wore. It is recommended not to proceed with The wife's health data stored in the system allows the virtual agent team to make these assessments because in the past she had sporadic epileptic seizures when stress exceeded certain levels. Virtual health agents recommend delaying negotiations for at least two days because health is more important than making a good deal, and in the worst case your wife could die during an epileptic seizure.

Shortly thereafter, the virtual social agent gives the husband the option of continuing negotiations while the wife rests. This allows the negotiation to continue while the wife reduces the risk of epileptic seizures or prevents them.

Also within close successive time, the virtual financial agent is a negotiating partner of the midsize business on the Internet and a new report has emerged that a potential buyer will soon begin negotiations to buy a company that is a direct competitor to the couple's midsize company. It was later recommended that the couple should continue negotiating. Therefore, the terms of the deal are also quite good, so that the negotiating partner does not risk acquiring a competitor in the future and the couple should continue to try to close the deal. The virtual financial agent also reminded the couple that over the past two decades the couple had made all the important decisions together, and even in the present situation, it might be good to make decisions together to avoid future problems with the couple's interpersonal relationships.

Thus, a team of virtual agents provides multi-directional recommendations, two of which are opposites: aborting the negotiation and the couple continuing the negotiation. The third recommendation, the third direction, is for the husband to continue negotiating rather than the wife continuing to negotiate. Thus, it has such a multi-way or three-way recommendation.

However, an important aspect of this new generation of virtual agents is that each virtual agent that is distinguishably presented to the user has its own field of interest, and as in the example above, in the field of finance, health, and social/partnership between husband and wife. The virtual agent team provides recommendations from different perspectives because each provides at least one recommendation based on their interests. But most importantly, still, in the example above, the couple, the user, makes the final decision, and the virtual agent team does not give advice, but rather analyzes the current state or current situation to provide recommendations from different perspectives on the user's current state. It gives the user a full picture of the situation and perhaps gives the user new ideas, but leaves the final decision to the user as the system doesn't have access to what the "best" way actually is, and gives the user a "best" way to proceed. do not instruct Providing such an analysis of the user's current state or current situation reduces the stress the user has in the current situation, protects the user's health, and also assists the user in finding the best way to proceed.

So, with respect to the example above, it can be said that the wife is under undue stress, but still wants to close the deal, especially in light of these new press releases. So, while the couple has made all the important decisions together over the past 20 years, she can stop today and decide that her husband should continue the deal so the deal can close today.

As a result, the systems, methods, and teams of virtual agents disclosed herein reduce or eliminate the user's stress to make the right decisions in specific situations. If the user is in a stressful situation for a longer period of time, such as several hours, the user may become confused and this may further increase the user's stress. The present invention can reduce this stress by analyzing the user's current situation and providing recommendations that provide a complete or near complete picture of the user's current situation without governing how the user decides and proceeds.

Virtual agents are often applied to provide information in response to a user's specific request or action. The provision of information is based on the communication of the facts requested by the user. In addition, the virtual agent may also serve as a virtual agent providing recommendations or advice related to a specific topic or area of interest. For example, a virtual agent may assume a role as a mentor or guide or motivational trainer. In connection with a particular subject or area of interest, or in relation to the user's condition, the virtual agent may, for example, the user's personal preferences and/or the user's feelings or moods and/or the particular interest area and/or the user's current state and/or Other suitable user-specific data may be relied upon to provide individual recommendations or advice. Recommendations or advice are generally non-binding, but with such recommendations or advice may positively affect the user's activity. This is simply a sugar configured to provide the user with a strictly scheduled plan, such as a nutritional or physical training plan, as user frustration may increase if the user fails to follow the provided scheduled plan, which may force the user to completely cancel the scheduled plan. It is particularly advantageous over virtual agents known in the industry. Due to the non-binding nature of recommendations or advice, user frustration may be minimized, particularly if the user fails to consider the recommendations or advice provided. For example, virtual agents or related systems and methods for providing users with only fitness and nutrition plans are well known in the art. Such virtual agents or systems and methods relate to assisting a user in reaching a generally predefined goal to improve the user's fitness or physical condition by fitness tracking, often in conjunction with various fitness tracking devices. It often happens that users set predefined goals that are too high, which can greatly increase the user's risk of frustration. Moreover, integrating these fitness and nutrition plans into a user's daily life often proves difficult. Surprisingly, it has been found particularly advantageous to provide a virtual agent or a team of at least two virtual agents providing recommendations to the user in relation to a plurality of living conditions or a plurality of areas of interest of the user, in particular the recommendation to the user may be related to the well-being of the user. It is provided from various perspectives on a specific field of interest to the user in order to improve it. Surprisingly, the team of at least two virtual agents, each of which is assigned to a different field of interest, and each of the two virtual agents, is configured to provide a recommendation to the user in the field of interest assigned to each virtual agent, the user's It has been found to be advantageous over virtual agents and related systems and methods known in the art for improving well-being.

The term "virtual agent" as used herein is generally provided on an electronic device comprising one or more processors and memory, such as a personal computer or a wearable electronic device such as a smartwatch or a mobile phone such as a smartphone, and It relates to computer readable instructions executable on such an electronic device. The team of at least two virtual agents of the present invention may be implemented in, or configured to connect to, various electronic devices. At least two virtual agents or systems may include common functionality of virtual agents known in the art, such as may be configured to answer questions or provide requested information. At least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to communicate with a user. The at least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to obtain the user's interaction context, such as the user's voice, the user's identity, and characteristics of the user's facial expressions and gestures. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide gestures, facial expressions and speech of each of the at least two virtual agents to enable imitation of face-to-face communication with a user. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to express an emotion or mood of each virtual agent. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide a visual change and/or a voice indication of each virtual agent, and thus the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide a visual and/or audible behavioral response to the user. . The at least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to observe, analyze, and respond to a user's request or may be configured to observe, analyze, and respond to a monitored user-specific parameter. Each of the at least two virtual agents may be a guide such as a health guide, a personal coach, a personal agent, a personal assistant, a personal trainer, an advisor such as a health advisor, and/or a personal companion of the user. The at least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to connect to a network and/or to a server such as a client server or a cloud server. At least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to access one or more databases. At least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to provide requested data or information obtainable from one or more databases. At least two virtual agents or systems may be configured to access third party services.

The term “interest” as used herein relates generally to a particular subject or particular living condition of a user. Areas of interest include health, fitness, nutrition, financial situation, occupation, job opportunities, work situation, social status, family status, relationship status, education, emotional status, surroundings, hygiene status, availability of medicines and medical services, hobbies, travel, housing status, insurance, retirement, social and financial stability, mobility, social status, material possessions, property, luxury needs, ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity, gender, self-discovery, personal wishes and dreams, legal protection; It may relate to international security, economic and/or social development and/or other living conditions.

Higher levels of well-being are strongly associated with positive levels associated with specific living conditions or areas of interest. Happiness is a state of mental or emotional well-being. Since a plurality of factors or parameters that have a specific effect on one particular area of interest may also affect other areas of interest, a threshold value between different areas of interest cannot be strictly defined. However, a positive impact on one area of interest can have a negative impact on another area of interest. A reasonable balance between different areas of interest is necessary to ensure or elicit a high level of well-being. For individuals, it is often required to apply weighting factors to different areas of interest, as the areas of interest that are important to a particular individual's well-being may vary depending on the person's age, family and cultural background, personal interests and hobbies, and personality. Examples of positive effects in one area of interest leading to positive effects in another area of interest may relate to positive progress in an individual's fitness, which may generally have an additional positive effect on health or physical condition. have. Positive influences on areas of interest such as hobbies, travel, luxury desires and material possessions are often accompanied by cash consumption. Cash consumption can negatively affect an individual's financial situation. From the standpoint of an independent observer of an individual's financial situation, it can be concluded that the individual's well-being has declined because his or her financial situation has deteriorated. However, cash consumption related to hobbies, travel, luxury desires and material possessions can have a positive impact on well-being and is also respected in modern society. Thus, from the point of view of another independent observer, it can be concluded that the well-being of the individual has reached a higher level, particularly due to financial investment. The examples described above show, in particular, that the influence of certain factors or parameters on well-being is highly dependent on the viewpoint.

It may not be appropriate to follow a specific pre-planned plan with respect to one or more specific areas of interest to reach a high level of well-being. For example, a user who is particularly interested in saving money and can follow a scheduled financial plan may accordingly follow strict guidelines not to spend money for travel or any material possessions. Also, if a user wants to follow a strict fitness plan and/or nutrition plan, a strictly planned schedule may limit the time to do other tasks. Additionally, the nutrition plan may include instructions not to eat foods that the user would normally like to eat. However, such a strict scheme may be reasonable if, for example, the user has high debt or is significantly overweight. Nevertheless, well-being generally depends on a number of parameters and factors, so it is quite impossible to provide a specific plan to satisfy all living conditions or areas of interest. Also, in many cases in areas of interest, such as family status or relationship status, a pre-planned plan containing specific instructions may not be feasible.

A virtual agent known in the art that is configured to provide assistance with respect to only one particular area of interest may be considered an observer providing guidance in only one particular point of view. On the other hand, virtual agents that provide information or perform specific tasks according to a user's request generally lack this view. It may be particularly reasonable to provide guidance or recommendations to the user from different viewpoints or from different perspectives, as described above with respect to the user's current situation or specific circumstances of the current state. Surprisingly, it has been found that providing recommendations to users from different perspectives is beneficial and provides improved guidance to users. It may be shown that a team of at least two virtual agents assigned to different areas of interest, configured to discriminately provide recommendations to users from different perspectives, provide users with improved guidance to improve their well-being. It may also be found that it is particularly beneficial for a given recommendation not to be presented in the form of a pre-planned plan, as recommendations from different perspectives may provide opposing recommendations. With respect to the example described above, a virtual agent assigned to an area of interest in a financial situation would recommend not spending money for travel and luxury needs, for example. However, a virtual agent assigned to an area of interest in travel or luxury needs will recommend to travel or purchase a particular luxury item.

The team of at least two virtual agents may be specifically configured to provide visual and/or audio recommendations to the user based on the interests of each virtual agent. In one embodiment, the selection of interests to be assigned to each of the at least two virtual agents may be user-defined, or may be automatically determined based on user-specific data provided by the user and/or stored in one or more databases. have. Determining an appropriate field of interest to be assigned to the at least two virtual agents may depend on the user's current state or the user's interests and/or goals. However, in a preferred embodiment the fields of interest are not selected to fully correspond to the interests of the user as a whole. The field of interest is preferably selected from a distinct subject or living condition of the user. The more different the selected interests are, the more the user may be provided with two-way, multi-directional or even contradictory recommendations by at least two virtual agents. The selection of a field of interest to be preferably assigned to the at least two virtual agents in general should relate in particular to the living environment of the user. In one preferred embodiment, the user may initially select a specific number of virtual agents provided and an area of interest to be assigned to each virtual agent. In one preferred embodiment, two areas of interest may only be selected together to enable the provision of interactive or multi-directional or even opposing recommendations to the user. For example, a user may initially select that one of the virtual agents of a team of at least two virtual agents should be assigned to an area of interest in a financial situation, wherein the team of at least two virtual agents consists of at least two virtual agents. A second virtual agent of the team may be configured to define that it should be assigned to a hobby, luxury desire, or area of interest of material possession. Data related to each interest may be stored in one or more databases, particularly to determine and/or generate visual and/or audio recommendations to the user based on the interests assigned to each virtual agent. Such data may further include pertinent information on how the user's living condition or well-being may be improved in relation to each area of interest. The data related to the field of interest preferably includes neutral data and/or informational data related to the respective field of interest. Accordingly, data related to interests may include predefined rules of how a user's well-being may be improved for each interest.

Recommendations generated by the team of at least two virtual agents may further depend on user-specific parameters and the user's current state, eg, the user's activity data and/or the user's physio-psychological data. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may provide the recommendation to the user further based on the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data. Preferably, the recommendation generated by the at least two virtual agents may be based on at least one user-specific parameter, wherein the user-specific data of the at least one user-specific parameter is for example based on the at least one sensor. It may be obtained directly from a sensor by obtaining activity data of the user by using and/or by obtaining physiological-psychological data of the user using at least one sensor.

The at least two virtual agents may be further configured to determine the current status of the user. The at least two virtual agents may be further configured to initially determine a current state of the user to determine an initial selection of an appropriate user-specific parameter that may be particularly suitable to serve as a basis for generating a recommendation for the user. have. Accordingly, to determine an initial selection of one or more sensors that may be used to directly obtain user-specific data for one or more user-specific parameters that may be particularly suitable to serve as a basis for generating recommendations for a user. It may be advantageous to be further configurable to initially determine the user's current status.

The user's current status may include the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data and/or health, fitness, nutrition, financial situation, occupation, employment opportunities, work situation, social status, family status, relationship status, education, emotional state, circumstances, sanitation, availability of medicines and health care, hobbies, travel, housing conditions, insurance, retirement, social and financial stability, mobility, social status, material possessions, property, desire for luxury, ethnic, cultural, may be determined based on appropriate user-specific data of linguistic and religious identity, gender, self-discovery, personal wishes and dreams, legal protections, international security, economic and/or social development and/or other living conditions of the user.

The "current state of a user" as described herein is a user's psycho-physiological data or activity data of a user, such as about the user's mood or emotions, or about the user's special activity, such as physical training or eating or resting. is further related to Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide recommendations to the user based on the user's current behavior and/or current physiological state and/or current mental state and/or current medical state. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may make recommendations to the user based on the user's current behavior and/or current physiological state and/or current mental state and/or current medical state and based on the interests assigned to each virtual agent. can be configured to provide. In an embodiment, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide recommendations based in particular on the user's current status, which may be determined based on the user's activity data. In another embodiment, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide recommendations to the user, in particular based on the user's current status, which may be determined based on the user's physio-psychological data. In another embodiment, the user's current status may be determined based on the user's activity data and the user's physiological-psychological data. The user's activity data may include the user's current activity, such as what the user is doing, such as sleeping, eating, or exercising. For example, while the user is running, the current state of the user may refer to the running state of the user. For example, when at least two virtual agents have determined the delivery status of the user, during the time the user's activity data indicates that the user is running, the activity data may be obtained using a sensor such as a GPS tracker or pedometer sensor. and the at least two virtual agents may be further configured to obtain user-specific data, for example from a GPS tracker or pedometer sensor, and thus be configured to monitor and automatically determine if the user stops running. The at least two virtual agents may be further configured to obtain physiological-psychological data from the user from one or more sensors during the user's activity. For example, at least two virtual agents with respect to speed, duration, heart rate, etc., may be configured to automatically recognize, thus physiological-psychological, for example when the user slows down or the heart rate increases or decreases. and determine if one of the enemy data is changing.

For example, the user's current state may relate to the time the user is running. Accordingly, the running state of the user may refer to a period in which the user is running. Another example of the user's current state may refer to the time the user is resting on the sofa. Accordingly, the user's resting state may refer to a period during which the user is resting on his or her sofa. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to determine a current state of the user, which may relate to a running state of the user or a resting state of the user. The at least two virtual agents may be further configured to provide different recommendations to the user for different states of the user, and thus for different current states of the user. For example, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide different recommendations to the user about the user's running state and then about the user's resting state. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to monitor and analyze the user's activity data and/or the user's physio-psychological data over time in real-time or near real-time, the user's monitored activity data and/or the user's It may be further configured to determine a state of the user, preferably a current state of the user, based on the physiological-psychological data. After the current status of the user is determined by the at least two virtual agents, the at least two virtual agents are configured to continuously monitor and analyze the user's activity data over time and/or the user's physio-psychological data in real or near real time. may be further configurable and may be further configured to automatically recognize and/or based on the user's monitoring and/or acquired and analyzed activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data and/or different fields of interest. It may be further configured to determine a change in the user's current status based on the monitored user-specific data. Accordingly, after determining the first state of the user, the at least two virtual agents may be further configured to determine the second state of the user based on the activity data of the user and/or the monitored change in the physiological-psychological data of the user. have. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide a recommendation to the user based on a first selection of one or more user-specific parameters of the user's activity data and/or physiological-psychological data of the user for a first state of the user. and provide the recommendation to the user based on the second selection of the one or more user-specific parameters of the user's physiological-psychological data for the user's activity data and/or the second state of the user. The at least two virtual agents may further be configured to change between a first state of the user and a second state of the user. Preferably the at least two virtual agents may be configured to determine at least one status of the user. Preferably, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to determine the user's current status over time in real-time or near real-time.

The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide the user with the same or different recommendations for different states of the user. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide recommendations for different states of the user based on the same selection of one or more user-specific parameters of the user's activity data and/or physiological data of the user, or may be based on different selections of one or more user-specific parameters of the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data. For example, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide recommendations to the user based on fewer user-specific parameters for the user's resting state than for the user's running state. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide the same or different recommendations to the user for different states of the user and different interests assigned to each virtual agent. Accordingly, each of the at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide a visual and/or audio recommendation to a user based on an interest assigned to each virtual agent and based on user-specific data and a current status of the user. Each of the at least two virtual agents may provide visual and/or audio recommendations based on the same user-specific data and the user's current state, but since at least two of the at least two virtual agents are assigned to different virtual agents. , at least due to the assignment to different areas of interest and thus the different viewpoints of the at least two virtual agents, the user may be provided with an interactive, multi-directional or even contradictory recommendation.

Thus, in an embodiment of the invention, the system for providing at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide the user with a recommendation for at least one status of the user, preferably the current status of the user, wherein at least The two virtual agents may be configured to provide visual and/or audio recommendations to the user, wherein at least one state of the user, preferably the current state of the user, is the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological may be determined based on the data and the at least two virtual agents adapt the recommendation to a monitored change in the user's activity data and/or to a change in the user's physio-psychological data and thus apply the recommendation to the monitored change in the user's current state. and wherein the at least two virtual agents are assigned to each virtual agent and are configured to provide the user with visual and/or audio recommendations for areas of interest based on user-specific data and a current state of the user; , at least two virtual agents in the team assigned to at least two areas of interest provide recommendations to the user in the current state so that the user is provided with interactive, multi-directional or reciprocal recommendations for at least two different areas of interest.

Generation of a recommendation for a user may also depend on the user's currently used electronic device. In other words, a team of at least two virtual agents providing recommendations to a user is a user's currently used electronic device that may be stored and executed by one or more processors. In other words, the user's currently used user's electronic device on which computer readable instructions for creating a team of at least two virtual agents that provide recommendations to the user can be executed by the at least one processor. Different electronic devices may include different computing systems, all of which are associated with user-specific parameters such as user-specific data of different interests or activity data of the user and/or physiological-psychological data of the user. It may not be particularly suitable for rendering or creating at least two virtual agents that provide visual recommendations to the user by applying the full data input. For example, the at least two virtual agents may be implemented and executed on a wrist watch, such as a smart watch, that includes a display that enables presentation of the at least two virtual agents. The at least two virtual agents may be rendered and presented on the display over time and the at least two virtual agents may be configured to generate recommendations over time to the user in real time or near real time.

In addition, certain electronic devices may include integrated input devices such as, for example, sensors. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to provide a recommendation to the user based on the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data obtained using the at least one sensor of the electronic device. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to generate recommendations to the user without soliciting the user's other activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data. Accordingly, it may not be required that at least two virtual agents be able to access one or more databases, for example on one or more servers and/or client servers and/or security servers. In addition, the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data for determining the user's current status may be monitored and analyzed with a specific electronic device. When the at least two virtual agents determine a change in the user's current state, the electronic device may transmit the determined change in the current state to another electronic device used by the user. The other electronic device may then adapt the recommendation to the determined change in the user's current state and may then be configured to generate the recommendation for the user based on the user's other activity data and/or physiological-psychological data. . Thus, it is not required to independently monitor all of the user's activity data and/or all physiological-psychological data of the user over time in real-time or near real-time to determine the user's current status.

The user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data may be monitored using at least one input device, eg, at least one sensor. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be connected to at least one input device, for example at least one sensor. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to receive an output signal generated from the at least one input device. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to receive an output signal from the at least one sensor.

The at least two virtual agents may be connected to the at least one input device and/or the at least one sensor to monitor the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to analyze the user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents may be configured to determine the user's activity based on the monitored user's activity data and/or the user's physiological-psychological data, which may be monitored by using at least one input device, for example at least one sensor. may be configured to determine a current state. The at least one input device and/or the at least one sensor may be configured to transmit generated output data, eg, user-specific data related to verbal and non-verbal behavior of the user, to the at least two virtual agents. The at least one input device, eg, a sensor, may include an appropriate audiovisual sensor, activity sensor, physiological sensor, biometric sensor, and/or other sensor. The at least one sensor may be configured to send output data directly (wired or wirelessly) to the processor. The at least one input device and/or the at least one sensor may be attached directly to the user. Alternatively, the at least one input device and/or the at least one sensor may be disposed within the electronic device and/or other device utilized by the user.

The virtual agent and/or system receives output signals generated from one or more input devices, eg, one or more sensors, to obtain and receive activity data of the user and/or physiological-psychological data of the user as input data related to the user. can be configured to do so. Accordingly, the at least two virtual agents and/or systems may be configured to receive input data relating to the user's activity data and/or physiological-psychological data of the user from one or more input devices, eg, one or more sensors. Preferably the at least two virtual agents and/or systems may be configured to obtain input data relating to the user's activity data and/or physiological-psychological data of the user directly from the at least one sensor. The input data may include one or more of the user's one or more behavioral data, the user's physiological data, the user's psychological data, the user's medical data, and/or other information or data related to the user. The at least two virtual agents and/or systems may receive output signals generated by at least one input device and/or at least one sensor inside or outside the computing system. At least two virtual agents and/or systems may electronically query and/or request the data from such devices and in response receive activity data of the user and/or physiological-psychological data of the user in response to sensors and/or other resources. may be configured to receive user-specific input data from

For example, a user's physiological data that may be related to the user's current physical and/or physiological state may include heart rate, blood pressure, weight, pulse rate, blood chemistry, blood oxygen saturation, blood glucose level, moisture information, respiration rate, respiration information, skin/body temperature, skin conductance, brain activity, body movement and/or lack of movement, user-specific activity data and/or physiological data may include performance and/or non-performance of daily activities, duration of activity It may further include data related to information, physical pain information, and/or other physiological data. Examples of the user's behavioral data may include the user's attitude, voice, appearance, gesture, manner, posture, voice expression, language expression, and/or other behavioral data. Examples of user-specific psychological data may include the user's personality, mood, emotion, perception, cognition, and/or other psychological data related to the user. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to extract user-specific data from the obtained input signal transmitted by the at least one input device or sensor, for example via automatic speech recognition and/or audiovisual behavior recognition. The at least two virtual agents may be configured to extract user-specific input data from audiovisual input (eg, user voice and/or video received from a microphone and/or camera). Automatic speech recognition may include identifying words and phrases in a user's speech and converting them into a machine-readable format. Audiovisual behavioral recognition may include face recognition, body language recognition, recognition of acoustic non-content attributes of speech (rhythm, emphasis, intonation, pitch, intensity, speed, etc.) and/or recognition of other actions.

The at least two virtual agents may be further configured to receive and/or obtain input data related to other users or one or more users. For example, users of the same age group, of the same gender, users with similar physiological, behavioral, psychological and/or medical information and/or other users with different similarities to the user.

Nonverbal communication is characterized by body language, distance between communicators, and visual cues such as physical environment and appearance, as well as voice and touch. Nonverbal communication may also include time use, eye contact, behaviors of looking while speaking and listening, gaze frequency, fixation patterns, pupil dilation and blink rate, etc. Human speech includes nonverbal elements such as voice quality, speed, pitch, volume, and utterance style, as well as prosody elements such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Nonverbal communication also depends on the environmental conditions in which the communication takes place, the physical characteristics of the communicators, and the communicator's behavior during the interaction. Nonverbal communication is characterized by the process of encoding and decoding nonverbal cues. Encoding involves providing information in the form of facial expressions, gestures and postures and decoding involves interpretation or understanding of the provided information. Some nonverbal cues are associated with intrinsic human behavior, for example smiling, crying or laughing. Non-verbal communication may include non-verbal cues in the form of gestures. Gestures can be performed with the hand, arm, or body and also include movements of the head, face, and eyes. Gestures may also be classified as voice-independent or voice-related. Speech-independent gestures are subject to culturally accepted interpretations and are directly translated into language. Voice-related gestures are used in parallel with voice utterances. This form of nonverbal communication is used to emphasize the message being conveyed. Voice-related gestures are intended to provide additional information to a verbal message, such as pointing to a discussion subject. Facial expressions are used as a practical means of communication. Using all the various muscles that precisely control the mouth, lips, eyes, nose, forehead, and chin, it is estimated that the human face can express more than ten thousand different expressions. In addition, many emotions are universally recognized, including happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, shame, anguish, and concern. Expressions of emotion can generally be classified into two groups: negative and positive. Negative emotions usually manifest as increased tension in various muscle groups, such as tension in the jaw muscles, wrinkles on the forehead, squinting eyes, or puckering of the lips. On the other hand, the wrinkles on the forehead are relieved, the muscles around the mouth are relaxed, and the area around the eyes is widened, so that positive emotions are revealed. Some hand movements are not considered gestures, such as scratching, fidgeting, rubbing, or tapping. These hand movements can serve as a basis for inferring propensity for the user's emotions (tension, discomfort, boredom). Eye contact is the primary non-verbal way of indicating engagement, interest, attention and engagement. Indifference can be very noticeable in social settings when there is little or no eye contact. However, the pupil will dilate when the individual is interested. Nonverbal cues can also consist of physiological aspects, including pulse rate and sweating. Eye contact and facial expressions provide important social and emotional information.

The ability to imitate the behavior of others enables a person to establish a sense of empathy and begin to understand the feelings of others. Mirroring can establish intimacy with the individual being mirrored because the similarity of nonverbal gestures can make an individual feel more connected with the person exhibiting the mirrored behavior. Because two people in a situation display similar nonverbal gestures, it can be believed that they share similar attitudes and thoughts. Mirror neurons respond to and trigger these movements, allowing the individual to feel a greater sense of immersion and belonging within the context. Mirroring is common in conversations because the listener usually not only smiles or frowns with the speaker, but imitates a body posture or attitude towards the subject. Individuals are more willing to empathize and accept others they believe have similar interests and beliefs, and thus reflecting on their interlocutors can form connections between the individuals involved. Individuals with autism or other social difficulties are less likely to exhibit mirroring because they may be unconsciously and consciously less conscious of the actions of others. This factor can create additional difficulties for individuals as it may be more difficult to establish connections with others without mirroring. Also, other people may be less likely to build a relationship with that person because if they don't reflect that person, they may appear less alike and less friendly. Individuals who do not subconsciously recognize gestures may struggle in social situations because they may not understand the point of view of others not explicitly mentioned and may not understand the covert cues often used in the social world.

A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions called a computer program. A program has an executable form that a computer can use directly to execute instructions. Since the instructions can be executed on different types of computers, a single set of source instructions is translated into machine instructions depending on the type of central processing unit. Execution processes carry out the instructions of a computer program. The computing system may include a processing unit, system memory, and a system bus. One or more of the processes described herein may be implemented at least in part as instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and executable by one or more computing devices. In general, a processor receives instructions from, and executes instructions from, a non-transitory computer readable medium by means of at least one central processing unit, at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium, at least one input device, and at least one output device. performing one or more processes, including one or more processes described herein, to provide a team of at least two virtual agents running on a system comprising: the virtual agent being differentiated to a user by at least one output device wherein each of the at least two virtual agents is assigned to a different field of interest and each of the at least two virtual agents has a visual and/or field of interest assigned to each virtual agent based on user-specific data and a current state of the user. wherein the at least two virtual agents assigned to the at least two different interests provide recommendations to the user in a current state, configured to provide audio recommendations to the user , or even give conflicting recommendations.

A “system” disclosed herein includes at least one central processing unit, at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, at least one input device, and at least one output device. The system is configured to present the at least two virtual agents on the at least one output device in such a way that the user perceives the two visualized virtual agents. The visualized virtual agents may be displayed or displayed sequentially or simultaneously on the output device and the visualized virtual agents communicating with the user may be highlighted or each virtual agent presented or displayed on one output device respectively. User-specific data, particularly the user's health data and user data such as hobbies, habits, preferences, etc., are stored in at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium provided to the system by the user or in a data bank accessible by the system.

At least one input device, such as a camera, sensor, microphone, etc., records the current state of the user. The user-specific data and the user's current state data are processed by the at least one central processing unit in such a way that the data is analyzed in light of various fields of interest. Thereby, each area of interest is successively selected and weighted as the most important area of interest to generate the most favorable recommendation for the area of interest with the highest weight. If one area of interest is not important to the processed data, i.e. it is not suitable for reducing the user's stress in the user's current situation, this area of interest is skipped and the next area of interest is processed. After giving the most important weight to the single interest among all the interests, two or more recommendations are generated, either bidirectional, multidirectional, or contradictory to each other. Different or opposing ways of how a user might act in his or her current situation are presented by the visualized virtual agent in a distinct way, with each virtual agent presenting one recommendation to the user. As a result, if the system generates four multidirectional or opposing recommendations, four visualized virtual agents are created, each presenting one recommendation. Two-way, multi-directional or even opposing recommendations give the user a complete or near-complete analysis of a stressful situation, giving the user a clear picture of the pros and cons of each recommendation, but does not lead or dominate the user, leaving the final decision to the user. . Reasonable analysis of the stressful situation also provides the user with new ideas that the user did not think of in his or her stressful situation, thereby reducing the user's stress and helping the user to find the most suitable way to proceed.

example

The following example is one of a million possibilities for carrying out the present invention.

You are the managing director of a small pharmaceutical company that has developed new pharmaceutical compounds for neurological disorders. A small pharmaceutical company has first clinical data and strong patent protection for a new pharmaceutical compound. A large pharmaceutical company was interested in this, and the director is currently negotiating a license agreement with five representatives of the large pharmaceutical company.

The current situation is that the licensing discussion has already been going on for 7 hours with the managing director gathered in the conference room of the head office of a large pharmaceutical company together with five representatives of large pharmaceutical companies. The managing director was very tired and not sure how to proceed, so during a brief break he contacted the virtual advisors team via cell phone.

The managing director is wearing a watch that has acquired physiological data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and skin conductance over the past 7 hours, and his cell phone is being used by the camera in the phone to perform voice and facial recognition for the past 7 hours. It has been recording voice and verbal data and pictures of users' eyes, mouths and faces. This data was analyzed along with user-specific data stored on the system serving the virtual agent team. Such user-specific data includes, for example, the managing director's health data and his current health status, such as whether he is suffering from a cold, lack of sleep, and the like.

User-specific data stored in the system shows that the managing director is not suffering from any chronic illness, but has just recovered from a cold a few days ago.

User-specific data stored in the system and current state data obtained through watches and mobile phones are weighted as the most important so that each area of interest, such as health, surroundings, nutrition, and financial situation, is recommended from multiple perspectives. are analyzed by the system in such a way that each recommendation is presented in terms of one area of interest.

Regarding the current situation of the managing director, it is clear that several areas such as hobbies, gender and nutrition are not of interest at this time, whereas health and finance are important.

Therefore, weighting the health field as the most important, the current situation is analyzed by the system as follows. Users are under great stress for several hours, as is evident from physiological data such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and skin conductivity. Also, as is evident from the user-specific data stored in the system, the user recovered from a cold just a few days ago. Therefore, if the user continues to stress the body as in the past 7 hours, there is a significant risk of relapse. As a result, a virtual health agent in its visualized form encourages users to stop negotiating today and continue the next day.

As the second most important field, finance is weighted as the most important field. From facial recognition, speech recognition and speech recognition, the system analyzed that the user had already negotiated several terms of the license agreement in favor of the company. It is clear that the managing director is doing a good job and is succeeding in securing license terms favorable to his company. As a result, the virtual financial agent in the visualized form negotiates after a break because the user is in a surprisingly good state and in a good mood to beat the representatives of the big pharmaceutical companies, and because the user has already negotiated very favorable license terms for his company. We recommend that you continue negotiating and close the license transaction today so that the license transaction closes today without risking that the terms already negotiated will be mentioned again the next day when this continues the next day.

The two opposing recommendations are continuously displayed in close proximity in time by the two visualized virtual agents so that the user, i.e., the managing director, can recognize both recommendations at the same time. It is now up to the user to decide how to proceed and have a clear picture of the outcome. If it continues, the user will most likely win a fairly lucrative licensing deal for his company, which is of great financial benefit to his company, but will end up negotiating today, leaving him very exhausted and sick for a while. If the user stopped negotiating today and continued tomorrow or a few days later, it would protect the user's health and lower the risk of a relapse of the disease, but the license terms negotiated in their favor should be re-queried and re-discussed by large pharmaceutical companies. may be changed to more favorable terms. Therefore, if the negotiation is delayed, the advantageous position acquired by the user by today's successful negotiation may be lost.
